Leo is here! This sign is always loud and clear. Leo is the fifth sign in the Zodiac wheel. It’s a fire sign ruled by the Sun, which means this is a time of courage, confidence, energy, passion, love, and creativity. It’s time to step into your best self and allow yourself to shine.
As we know, the Sun and the Lion both represent the energy of the center—the most dominant and centric of energies. The Sun is the center of our solar system and the source of light. And the lion is the “king of the jungle,” the ruler, right at the top of the food chain in the animal kingdom.
Since this month offers us access to great power, we also need to be mindful of the dangers that come with power. Overconfidence can lead us to behave in a prideful, egotistic, and selfishly motivated way. Passion can lead to anger, intensity, and the destruction of everything that stands in our way. It’s important to have confidence; however, too much can blur our consideration of others, making us think we know better.
This month, the goal is to activate the more spiritually aligned attributes of the sign of Leo—things like sharing, love, kindness, opening the heart, and stepping up to take more responsibility as leaders in this world and in communities. The secret to overcoming this month’s more selfish traits is in constantly pushing ourselves to become better listeners. And when we share, do it with humility.
Examine where you come from and try not to expect anything from others in return (such as attention or respect). Appreciate the gift of giving and of revealing more Light in your life solely through the act of sharing itself, and nothing else. Let us find out what supportive cosmic shifts are happening this month that are unique to this year.
First, the planet Jupiter recently entered the sign of Leo. This transition will affect all of us in the upcoming year and encourage us to expand our self-expression. Reconnect to what makes you happy and joyful, creative and alive. Jupiter's movement into Leo highlights our hearts. It's time to love and grow our love to everything that life has to offer—romantic love, self-love, family love, love of nature and of the world, and, of course, love of the Creator!
In the last week of July, the Sun will pass right next to Jupiter and will accentuate this powerful energy in Leo. This week can bring a peak of optimism, good vibes, motivation, and a deeper desire to grow. The best way to activate this energy is through the consciousness of gratitude and appreciation. Take time and appreciate all the good things you have right now in your life!
Appreciation will create the vessel for all this “good energy” you can draw into the future this week. Envision and create your future through appreciating the past and present. Remember: feeling blessed attracts more blessings!
Another beautiful aspect this month will take place during the week of August 9th when the three outer planets—Neptune, Uranus, and Pluto, who represent our connection to the metaphysical realm—form a positive and powerful aspect. This aspect creates strong harmony that can support all of us in our spiritual connections. Being open to spiritual ideas and intuitive awakening can help us connect to a deeper sense of purpose.
Keep in mind the secret to drawing all this abundance of positive energy is reducing our selfishness and our egos. By listening to others and developing greater humility and appreciation, the sky is the limit this month!
